Call for Paper Proposals 2013
  
The International Political Economy Society (IPES) is now accepting paper proposals for its annual meeting to be held October 25 and 26, 2013 at the Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, CA. Proposals can only be submitted at:https://ncgg.princeton.edu/IPES/proposals.php.
The abstract for each proposed paper should be sufficiently detailed to allow the steering committee to assess its suitability for the conference, but should not exceed 250 words. The deadline for proposals is April 15, 2013. The preliminary program will be announced and participants notified in mid-May 2013. Please forward this announcement to interested colleagues and graduate students.
  
The first seven meetings of the IPES have been enormously successful. The program, papers, and presentations are available online at:https://ncgg.princeton.edu/IPES/index.php. Papers appropriate for the conference include some international component (i.e., either the independent or dependent variable must be “international” in some meaningful sense), and either focus on the politics of economic phenomena (e.g., globalization) or an economic policy (e.g., monetary policy). The Society welcomes scholars using diverse approaches and methods, including qualitative and historical approaches. We are particularly interested in papers on the continuing financial crisis and the Great Recession, although all topics are welcome.
  
In order to ensure that as many as possible can appear on the program, each scholar is limited to one paper proposal as sole author and no more than two papers as co-author.

Rationale for the Society
  
The IPES provides an annual forum for scholars of international political economy to present their best new work in progress to an informed and critical scholarly audience. The annual conference is centered on a small number of carefully selected papers. We are particularly interested in recruiting participants and papers from outside the field of political science and from outside North America.

Expenses for the Conference
  
The IPES does not have any permanent institutional support. The 2013 meeting will be sponsored by the Claremont Graduate University. Jacek Kugler (Jacek.kugler at cgu.edu) and Thomas Willett (Thomas.Willett at cgu.edu) are our local hosts.
  
There is a registration fee of $50 for faculty and $25 for graduate students attending the conference. This fee will be waived for faculty and students of the host institution (all participants will be asked to pre-register).
  
Our hosts at Claremont will provide breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday of the conference and a dinner for all participants on Friday evening. Please plan to
  attend these meals as they are an important opportunity for networking within the conference.
  
All participants are expected to pay their own travel and hotel expenses. We understand that travel funds are limited for everyone. We hope that the high quality of the meeting and discussions will make this a worthwhile expense. We may have very limited funds to help defray housing costs for some graduate students and junior faculty, but we will not be able to assist everyone in these categories. If you wish to be considered for travel funds, please explain in a separate paragraph below your abstract why assistance is necessary.

  
Information about registering for the conference and logistics (i.e., hotel reservations) will be forthcoming in July 2013 with the preliminary program and posted at our website.
  
Getting to Claremont
  
There are three airports that serve Claremont. Ontario International Airport (ONT) is about 10 miles from the campus. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is 50
  miles from Claremont.  Long Beach Airport (LGB) is 45 miles from campus. Super Shuttle is available from both LAX and LGB.

Best Paper Award for 2012
  
Finally, we are delighted to announce the award for the best paper presented at the 2012 annual conference at the University of Virginia. The award goes to Lawrence Broz (UCSD) for “The Federal Reserve as Global Lender of Last Resort, 2007-2010.” The award for $500 will be presented at the 2013 meeting. We will also select a paper for the 2013 award from those presented at the conference and posted online in their entirety within one week after the conference.
